Siberia as q Penal Colony.

Siberia as penal colony is thus de.
scribed by Bradstreet's s.: According to
recent advices from Russia, it is be-.
ginning t. be doubted in official circles
whether it is expedient to continue to
maintain Siberia as a penal colony.
A special committee has been appoint
ed to inquire into the matter and re.
port on the subject. Some statistics
just published show some light upon
the condition OF affairs in that coun-
try. Between the years 1854 and
1884 the number of persons sent to
Siberia numbered nearly 100000,
and Of this number political exiles
numbered 100000. One fact noted
is the desire to escape manifested by
those people. During the past twenty
years twenty-four per cent. OF the
total number Of exiles sent to Siberia
made their escape. 1t will be seen
from this that it is impossible to pre-
vent some from getting away. An al
most equal difficulty is met in trying
to reconcile the remaining colonists to
the country. The chances of marry.
ing and settling down are narrowed
because of the small proportion o1
women exiles to men, averaging ou the
whole about one to FIVE. As marriage
is forbid den until the exiles have been
five years in the country, and the
majority of the women are over forty
years Of age. it is little to be wondered
at that the colonists cannot be ex
pected to make good citizens. Tht
objections to thu exiles making per
manent home in the country are very
strong, It seems evident from thi
that Russia is not meeting with a
much success as England formerly dit
